OMAHA, Dae. 11 To th Editor of Th
Bac: In common with other Worklngmen of
Omaha, I read In Th He tha address
aellverad by V. it. Parry of Indianapolis
to tha member of tha Omaha Dustnes
Men'a association at Ita special meeting
Uat weak, and I sssurs you I have been
greatly adlfled by It I am at a loaa to say
which excite my wonder moat, hla 6so
Inta certainty of hla position, or Ma audac
loua perversion of facta. Conceding to Mr.
Parry that peculiar admiration paid by
tha tnaaaea to one who haa tha "courage of
hla convictions," It atll! remalna a deplor
able fact that Mr. Parry haa either not
taken advantage of the axtanaive leiaur
Ms business allow him or ha la so consti
tuted mentally to obtain conclusion
that differ radically from those reached by
other men equally well fitted to deal with
the subject, and having tha same oppor
tunity for obtaining accurate and exact in
formation for a bast of deduction. And
a Mr. Parry I In the minority, It la a
reasonable conclusion that he I wrong.
By thla I do not mean that Mr. Parry
holds vlewe contrary to those of the union
leader of the country, but that he is nt
variance with the best known student and
writer on politico! and social economy.
Mr. Parry opened hi address with some
remarks laudatory of the Omaha Business
Men' association, Intended no doubt to put !
M hearer In good humor with themselves
and th speaker,' and mt -I cannot help
thinking that some broad smile must have
been noticeable among that assemblage as
tha speaker went on to congratulate the
Omaha business men on the outcome . of
last spring's lockout. No on know so
well as tha Omaha bustne man just what
the result of that difficulty really Is, and
v on knows better than he M he is anxious
for another such Derlod of Idleness, with
,lts accompanying and subsequent depres- !
won.
What Mr. Parry proposes. j
' Just at present Mr. Parry Is In advance
of most of his associates, a natural posi
tion for a leader. He Insists that th labor
Union as such must b. uprooted -and de
stroyed absolutely. No compromls will do
htm. It 1 against organised labor 'solely
that be directs his energlec, and, to accom
plish tha undoing of which he Is now neg
lecting his own private affairs. . In ..order
that tha trade union may be wiped out Mr.
Parry propose a union of employer. In
order that the evils of the boycott and th
sympathy strike may be done away with,
Mr.. Parry proposes that the employers
hall adopt ths same methods exactly, only
be doesn't call them by that name. He
proposes that hi union of employer shall
Interchange a Uat of employes they eon
alder untrustworthy, and that they shall
act together In resisting any and all de
mands of labor, whether of union labor or
otherwise. It doesn't require any deep
thought or mlcrosoopks analysis to sea the
affect of th Parry cbmev It, means sim
ply that th worklngman become again
tha vassal of his employer. Just aa much as
waa tha serf th appanage C the soil.
''Individuality" I th burden of th song
of tb Parry, fojlpwer Just, now, and their
Voice are all uplifted In praise of Jhe non
union man and th beauty of their open
hop plan. .One can hardly, blam them,
for the nonunion man has . proven again
and again their best friend, while tha open
hop means tha end of trade unions, for
It defeat th only good they can accom
plish. Ona of th point most strenuously
contended for ia th right of the workman
'to sell his labor for whatever he chooses,
to work a kxng hours a h like, and to
oxerciae hi Individuality in any and all
way. Against this th trad union oppose
tha doocrtno of coUactiv bargaining, under
which each Is governed by exactly similar
primary conditions. It I put forward by
the advocates of the open shop that tha
right of the Individual are abrogated,
(hat th avenues of opportunity are closed
and that ambition and Initiative are throt
tled by the closed shop. What Is alleged
to ba a doctrine of common law Is cited as
supporting 'the right of tha individual to
do what he likes with what Is his own.
It Is doubtful If any principle of common
taw support such a contention In Ita log
ical result, but certainly modern statutory
law doe not.
Right of th ladlvidaaL.
An Individual has a tight to do just What
ha pleases so long as he does not Interfere
with hi neighbor' right to do a he
pleases. When these right overlap there
must ba established a boundary to deter
mine Just how fat each can go. And Just
ss a man Is hampered by law and custom
In other directions, so Is hs hampered In the
deposition of whatever is his own, evan to
hla labor. "The greatest good for the
greatest number" Is the maxim of the
highest civilisation, and no man haa a
right to do anything detrimental to ths In
terest of his fellow men, even to working
for a lees wage or longer hour than other
are willing to accept. The doctrine of "In
dividuality" a presented by the advocate
of th open shop In simply a return to the
conditions out of which trad union grew, a
time when the necessity and not th capa
city of th workman afforded the basl of
th contract for employment. Nothing In
the theory or practice of trade unionism In
terfere with Individual Initiative In any
way except that It la prescribed that a
man may not work longer than a specified
number of hours for a specified sum of
money. This Is established as a maximum
day for a minimum wage. In theory it Is
Intended that a skilled workman shall ba
paid mot than an Incompetent; In prac
tice the employer accepts the minimum
wage a th maximum, and then complain
that he pay a good workman a much a a
poor. He calls the good workman' atten
tion to the fact, but doesn't suggest that
the wafre Should be raised for th good
workman, but that an arrangement be
made whereby the wages of the Inferior
workman may be reduced. That Is sll
there Is to the doctrine of "Individuality."
Valoa Meat Have Risen.
Union men have risen In every walk of
life. They have entered tha learned pro
fessions; they have become authors. Jour
nalists, legislators. Jurists, diplomats and
even "captains of Industry." No one at all
familiar with the fact will seriously charge
that membership In a trade union hampers
the development of Individual capacity.
Mr. Parry asserts, that trade union con
demn thelt member to a perpetual condl
tlon of workers. Thla i not chargeable
to trade unionism, but to business condi
tion. It Is an outgrowth of to economi
cal revolution wrought by th 'Introduc

cle has been the trade union
ret to I
endure
nd to endure much ferwoutlon besides.
for It was not until the end of the first
quarter of the nineteenth century tliat
combinations of workins-men were made
lawful there. When this disability had
been removed, stut worklngmen had
gained the legal rlgnt to combine, union
ism was forced to take up the fight
against opposition In a subtler form.
which has lasted to our owu day, and
has been shared by unionism In America,
It Is not often that abstract doctrines
which have been given a practical turn by
their authors become deeply Impressed on
the publlo mind; and yet this rare thing
occurred to dateat the ends of trade un
ionism. Borne of the economists were
teaching and some of them continued to
teach down to the last quarter of the
nineteenth century, that combination
among working people wss powerless to
Improve tbelr condition, because of the
operation of a principle to which they
art tha name of the Wage Fund Theory,
hey explained Ita operation by saying that
here was at any given time a fixed amount
f capital to be distributed as wages, and
that the average wage depended on the
number cf working people among whom
the whole sum was to be divided: so that
If any section of wage earners succeeded
cy means of combination in getting more
than their hre. they Inevitably did so
at ths expense of some other section of
tneir class. Any improvement in me con
dition of wage earners as a whole was
impossible; and. if It were possible to
evade ths wage fund principle, there was
another "natur&l law" whose Inevitable
co-operation with it was certain to pro
duce In the end the eame result. What
known as the principle of population
provided against ny Improvement In th
condition of the wage earners; for, let
them secure a higher wss, and the nat
ural Increase In their numbers following
Upon bettered conditions would soon bring
watres back sgaln to the level of bare
subsistence. Bo general wa the adoption
of these Ideas that Is wns an accepted
conviction among the educated classes
throughout a great part of the nineteenth
century that wage earners were irre
trievably hedged In by the wage fund,
and by the fact of an Increase in their
numbers In response to any improvement
In their conditions. An advance In wages
as any point wss supposed to measure to
farthing a loss or wages at some otner
point, and a conceivable general Increase
of the wage fund from the sources of
?roflt and Interest would Inevltnbly be
nllnwed by an Increasing birth rate
among the workers until the average wns
back again at the level of bare subsistence.
Trade unionism was looked upon st the
best as a blind and rutlle struggle ssrainst
fate: and working people were plBiniy
told that the only possible means within
their power of improving their condition
lay In a volnntary restriction of their
numbers.
This much la quoted to snow irom wnat
conditions labor ha come up since the or
ganisation of worklngmen into unions was
no longer a crime for which Imprisonment
and deportation were th mildest punish
ment.
Faalt of Trad Unions.
MP. Parry asserts that trade unionism is
a most dangerous form of socialism. Com
ing from a less eminent authority, this
assertion would be merely smiled at. It
can hardly be . that Mr. Parry puts any
serious reliance on th specious line of
reasoning by which he reaches this re
markable conclusion. The entire career of
trad unionism from the first to the pres
ent day 1 a direct contradiction to the
assertion, and I wlllxnot devote any apace
to debating th proposition. Inclined a I
am to tha opinion that Mr. Parry simply
threw that part of hla address In aa
makeweight for good measure.
A to tha faults of the trade unions, they
are only too apparent. Many things have
been done by union men that have brought
reproach and obloquy upon them and their
cause; but what form or section of society
ha attained perfection? But It I not true
that all th crime that have been com
mitted dunng . labor disturbance are
chirgaeble to th trade unions. Any auch
weeping charge must lay ht maker open
to suspicion or eitner ignorance or mauce.
Omaha cltliena know this, for In a city
whose population I oomposod so largely
of th working classes, and wher the
worker .are so extensively and thoroughly
organised into Unions, It I impossible that
the oitlsen ha not soms neighbor or. close
acquaintanc who Is a member of a trade
union, tind' therefore know of th quali
fication of th member of trade union
for citizenship. But Prof. Wyckoff has a
word on this point, ' too. After censuring
th trade union for not taking a stronger
stand for the suppression of the disorders
that accompany almost every extensive
strike, he says:
Bo far, however, from being a spirit of
ansreny, wnicn, under certain conditions
Incites trade unionists to lnexcusablu ucts
or violence, it is really a spirit quite the

so completely demonstrated by the history
of the development of capltalbim that it Is
Decome a commonplace. If ono wishes con
temporaneous evidence or Its truth, any
examination of the "sweated" Industrie
win provide it in overwhelming volume.
It must be remembered also that the
trad union have bad to make headway
against Ignorano within the working
classes. Thla I a phase of th question
in employer doe not deal with, it I a
fact easily demonstrated that th newer
and more loosely organised trade union
ar th one that make th moat trouble;
mat tn older and better organised ar
rarely beard from, except as they are
called In to assist th younger In their
struggles, and that th really serious dis
turbance ar generally caused by labor
that baa bo organisation av that of th
mob.
Employers' Organisations.
One thing Mr, Parry said that will b
endorsed by all union men. . H suggested
that tha employer cultivate closer rela
tion with hi men, that hs call them to
gether from time to time and talk wtth
them In regard to th business, ate. Only
good can result - from such a course, for
It will establish a personal relation that
is lost sight of In th present method tt
doing business. Another point I wish to
make Is that th trad unions' will gladly
welcome an organisation of employers, un
less It be organized on th Parry plan
with a deliberate Intent of fomenting
trouble. It 1 far mora convenient for the
union to deal with employer a a body
than a Individual, and the union do not
lay claim to any exclusive right to the
benefit of organization.
Referring again to Prof. Wyckoff ar.
tic!, I find that another phase of "indi
viduality" hss been touched upon, this Um
s it ailect th employsr:

There are many people who know too little of the geography of the state which they
lire.
To stimulate an interest in an accurate knowledge of Nebraska towns, The Bee will re
ward those who show that they are familiar with the names of the towns and cities of Ne
braska. .
The "Nebraska Towns" contest will begin with the issue of The Dee of Monday, Decem
ber 21st, and end with the issue of Sunday, December 27th. -
At the head of th6 "Want Ad" pages each day will appear five questions,, the answers
to which may be found hidden in the Want Ads, and each answer will be the name of one
of the towns or cities in the state of Nebraska. The names of these towns and cities will
not necessarily be given as an address at the bottom of an advertisement, nor will they
necessarily be used in designating the town itself. ' ,
AN EXAMPLE: Where did Napoleon meet his final defeat?
The answer, of course, is "Waterloo.". ,
The cuswer might appear in the word "Waterloo" as the signature of the advertise
ment of the Waterloo Creamery Co. It does not matter how the word appears in tiie ad
vertisement as long as it ia the correct answer to the question.
Conditions of the contest:
At the top of a sheet of paper write your name and address. In case you should use
more than one sheet, write your name and address at the top of each separate sheet. Then
write out( the question as it appears in the paper and paste below the Want Ad, clipped
from the paper containing the name of the town which constitutes the answer. Underline
the name of the town.
Do the same with the second question, and so on until you have completed the thirty
five questions which will appear daring the week.
The person giving the greatest number of correct answers will receive first prize. The
person having next nearest number, the second prize, etc. ;
In case of a "tie," the person sending in answer first, as shown by postmark on the en
velope, will be given the preference,
